Half of living is reflecting on what is being lived.
I highly agree with this sentence, self-reflecting is difficult. I am working on self-reflecting and how understanding myself will help me understand others. Self-reflecting can affect people in a positive or in a negative way. I have to learn to pull and highlight all the positive aspects of what a self-reflection emerge, with out fixating on the fear or the negative. Most of us are thirsty individuals that want immediate ratification and reward. We seek a quick buzz without wanting to work hard and without the hangover. We all want the answers and we all want help, but we do not want to help others succeed. I say most and I say we, because it is hard to say I. We all want to fit

It is easy to tell others, “this is what you should do to feel better mentally,” but I am mentally loosing it. In accepting that this will not be an easy journey, and that I will be making mistakes along the line, but learning from it, is a strong way to start my career.
Accepting myself and how unique I am will allow me to understand others; this includes my family, friends, coworkers, fellow students, and future clients. We are all have a cup on our hands and we all have different drinks in our cup. We all take pleasure in different drinks. Also, everyone has gone through different paths to come to this point in their lives. We are all unique, and we all deserve to enjoy our cup. Some people will just chug the cup and others will sip it. This idea will help understand when I encounter different clients. They might not agree with my uniqueness and my individually. They might not agree with how I have sipped my cup, and what I learned might not be of use to them. But, I have to try and learn how to help them. By expanding my understanding of how others fill their cup or what they put in their cup will help me help them.
Not everyone has the ability to see how unique they are or can be, and then there are others that selfishly affect others to reach their goals. I have to try to help the people that cannot even get up to get a cup. I believe, that God willing I will succeed
The end of the semester is approaching quickly and you can see “light at the end of the tunnel.” The final assignment is a self-reflection essay on what you learned during the semester in ENG 111. There were three other essay assignments. The first one was called a literacy narrative, the second one, a single source essay, and the third one, a multi-source essay. But how can I write about things I do not understand? I had never taken an online class before, much less, a class that required so much reading and writing. This is a college level course and I am just a junior in high school. I was clueless about writing a paper in a format and I possessed no knowledge of a works cited page. So, what did I learn? First of all,
While I appreciated that one of my peers provided feedback on my work, I feel that the feedback that was provided did not fulfill the assignment. My peer did not provide detailed feedback on my paper that could be adequately incorporated in my review and revisions. Most of the information that was provided as feedback were simply statements that reiterated what the prompt question was. Please see the below feedback provided to me by my peer.
The areas of productiveness in this session for me included the paraphrasing and minimal encouragers. Throughout this session I felt that my paraphrasing was clear and concise. It allowed the client to think about what he had said, while being able to provide me with feedback and allowed for the conversation to flow naturally.
On Sunday, December 3, 2017, I delivered my first oral presentation on Janette, a peer in my Communicating Effectively course at Manhattanville College. The objective of the project was to familiarize yourself with a classmate, ask/answer questions provided by Professor Brosnan, and then share the knowledge you gained about the individual in a two-minute presentation. The presentation was required to introduce the classmate, what graduate program they are pursuing, why he/she is in the program, their long-term career goal(s), current occupation, favorite class, and an interesting fun fact. The oral presentations were done in the classroom without any visual aid, allowing you to use notes if preferred. By analyzing my 1 minute and 25 second presentation using the “7 Step Presentation Process” I uncovered my strengths and weaknesses as a presenter.
The College of Charleston was my preferred college out of the colleges I applied to. A majority of the time this was a good choice. Then there are times when part of me thinks attending a different college would have been a better idea. Then again, it is only the first semester of my freshman year. Freshman year has a handful of requirements for classes, including the First Year Experience and the seminar that goes with it and many other general education courses. There were a good many choices to choose from for my First Year Experience class and The Gullah Community: Ethnographic Research in Gender and Identity was the one that stood out to me the most.
It would be amazing to be accepted into EcoQuest, and I hope that after you read this you think it would be amazing to have me in EcoQuest too. In the application form you asked everyone applying to comment on these things: our relationship with nature; our relationship with other students; our ability to work independently and make responsible decisions; how we maintain a healthy & active lifestyle; and our academic effort. In the following paragraphs I will address these items.
Even though this class was a requirement for my nursing school, I was interested in getting to know more about my health and how to live a healthy life. After the first analysis, I had several goals and things I wanted to achieve personally, however, the three most important ones were my water intake, eating healthy which includes eating more vegetables and more protein foods since my actual intake was below the recommended intake and finally exercising more to keep fit and strong. Exercising has always been a problem for me because I always think am healthy because of my size and weight, but I have had several incidences where I have been told by my doctor to exercise, so this class was an eye opener for me since I read a lot about exercise but was feeling lazy to start and kept procrastinating.
As the first five weeks of Writing 39B have passed, I believe that I have made some improvements in my writing as a result of the feedback from the professor, the multiple writing assignments, and reading the Anteater’s Guide to Writing and Rhetoric. Although I can still improve in all facets of my writing, the progress I have made so far was very much needed.
Over the course of my lifetime in the real-world and the academic classroom, language has played a significant role. Attending Spanish classes throughout my high school tenure into my first semester at Quinnipiac University has enabled me to expand and develop my communication and reasoning skills in the Spanish language. With this genuine self-reflection, I will discuss my capabilities and experiences regarding language learning, regarding the Spanish language course
Providence when not divine ,it is foresight' was a thought that was always haunting me from childhood,little knowing that later in my life the writer in me is taking its shape.At times I thought why I could not solve problems academic as well as personal by using the same kind of thinking which we used when we created them ,as my greatest problem was what to do about all the things I couldn't do anything about.
I'm written this statement in response to the meeting we had on 6/22/2017 with Alex Wade and Darryl Massey who conducted my performance review. After careful consideration and further review, I feel I needed to clear up some areas of misunderstanding. I truly do not feel the evaluation represents my knowledge level nor my working ability.
The purpose of this, my reflective essay, is to consider the journey I have taken to develop and create both the story research task and the story task. In the first task I was tasked to do an in-depth research on a topic that was trending or perceived as popular with a wide and varied audience. Accordingly, this would be a topic that could be seen to span a range of Social Media and established news sources. Then, in the second task, I was required to create a well-structured article based on the topic and crafted to meet the well-established journalistic standards of an established periodical, such as Time magazine. I now regret not adding an image to both support and establish the storyline. If correctly used it would have become
As I just came out of our prayer centered worship night my heart cried out. These feelings will soon fade by the time this article actually post, but I feel like I need to reflect on it. I cried for the first time not about my lacking of faith, school, boys, or friendships, but the darkest parts of me that I try so hard to hide. Those demons that I have fought long to fight off, but sometimes they come creeping back. I reflect on the past week and the news of suicide that destroyed my small town.This is something that occurs daily,but when you can actually put a personal relationship to the name it changes things. I think of all the times the Lord pulled me from some dark places and how easily not so long ago those headlines could've been
In five short days, six strangers underwent an intense, time constrained, decision heavy experience that challenged our thinking. Throughout the Foundations of Teamwork and Leadership course, I learned several concepts about leadership and teamwork that have strengthened the foundation for my learning team to operate as a more cohesive unit. From redefining our team culture to uncovering how to handle assumptions, there were numerous situations that allowed for intelligent failure to occur in a low-risk and familiar environment. In the following paragraphs, I will shed light into a few of my findings.
In this self reflection, I will be discussing about my limiting and supporting beliefs, my transference examples, and the primary and secondary function of my major habits. My limiting belief is that I do not have the skills needed to be in a manager position or communicate effectively, and my supporting belief is that I can learn and improve my skills to do the things that my limiting beliefs maintain that I could not do, such as being a manager or an effective communicator. My transference is the fear of admitting my mistakes to my supervisors that is transferred from the experience I have with my father when I was young. Lastly, I talk about my major habits, such as doing homework early, which primarily gives me ample time to work on my
